13 Door survey To achieve emission-free deliveries we must know what is delivered, to whom, and when. Together with students from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences Green Building Council Zuidas conducted a survey of the WTC, VU Amsterdam, ABN AMRO and the Symphony tower to count what entered the premises. Not only did the extent of the problem and the need for solutions become clear, the survey provided ideas for concrete interventions – both in the short and long term. The most suitable approach seems to be the one by Trias Logistica that focusses on minimising unnecessary transport. The next step is to transport more efficiently by bundling goods and finally to encourage electric transport. Green Deal Zero Emission City logistics During Green Business Club’s Zuidas annual CEO-breakfast in May 2018 all present signed the Green Deal Zero Emission City logistics. By signing the document, companies pledged to back emission-free city logistics by 2025. The focus is on procurement, waste and package deliveries. The signatures confirm support for this ambition at directorial level and offers access to a network for knowledge and experience on smart and clean logistics. We Make The City During the city-wide festival We Make The City (20–24 July 2018) BYC, Green Business Club Zuidas, Hello Zuidas and ORAM organised a well-attended programme on emission-free city logistics in Circl. In addition to Geert Deliveries to the catering industry per week 143 suppliers Kloppenburg as keynote speaker, splinter sessions were organised around package and postal deliveries by bike (BYCS), procurement (Green Business Club Zuidas), catering sector logistics (Hello Zuidas), and water transport for construction logistics (ORAM). These sessions are part of projects that contribute to the emission-free city logistics in 2025 goal. Electrification at Sixt Car rental company Sixt started increasing its electric fleet in 2018. New models were added such as the Jaguar I-PACE, Tesla Model S and the Volkswagen e-Golf offering an electric alternative for each rental category. The share of plug-in hybrid models also increased. Sixt invested in its own charging infrastructure: the first charging possibilities were installed for electrical cars at the RAI Amsterdam outlet and now all outlets in and around 245 deliveries Source: HvA, Urban Technology research program Amsterdam have charging stations. Quick-charge stations were installed at the Amsterdam depot so electric cars can be quickly made ready for their next rental and more customers can choose an emission-free car. Construction logistics by waterways Construction is increasing enormously in Zuidas. Aside from residential buildings and offices, Zuidasdok and Zuid station are on the agenda until 2028. How do we ensure that the transport of building materials have minimal impact on the environment? An alternative for road transport is transport by waterways. Many construction materials can be transported from the Amsterdam harbour by boat to a building hub such as in the Nieuwe Meer. From there the materials can continue to their destination with smaller transport solutions such as cargo bikes or electric vans.
